MANCHESTER CITY superstar Erling Haaland was left cringing at Jamie Carragher’s “awkward” question after the Champions League final.
City sealed the treble after winning their first ever Champions League title at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium where they beat Inter Milan 1-0 with Rodri’s winner.
Haaland failed to emulate the stunning form he has been showcasing throughout the season as the Premier League’s top scorer was neutralised by Inter’s back three.
However, there is probably a very good reason behind his poor performance as the star striker spoke to CBS after the post-match celebrations.
The Norway international joined a panel consisting of Kate Abdo, Carragher, Thierry Henry as well as Micah Richards and revealed he had a nervy tummy due to all the stress heading to the big final.
Haaland said: “I was really nervous, [I] Felt it in my stomach today.”

That statement was met by a rather puzzling response from Carragher.
The Liverpool legend responded: “Anywhere else?”
The rest of the panel burst into hysterics with Abdo pointing out the absurdity of Carragher’s question.
Abdo asked: “What does that mean?”

Haaland was left completely baffled while the rest of the panel laughed their socks off.
The 22-year-old then asked: “Why are they always asking these awkward questions?”
But Haaland didn’t look too bothered by that awkward moment as he and his City team-mates were over the moon after a stunning season that saw them winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
Later in the night he was pictured smoking a huge cigar as he partied with his Man City team-mates.
